Dr. Strange and Spideyhttp://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?111553-Dr-Strange-and-Spidey&goto=newpost
Wed, 23 May 2018 22:25:25 GMTHey, friends! I just wanted to let everyone know how great today's issue of Dr. Strange is! It wraps up Don Cates' run on the title, and its focus on Strange and Spidey together is absolutely great. Cates nails their relationship perfectly, in my opinion, in a way that hasn't been done since Spider-Man: Fever.

I literally laughed out loud multiple times while reading it.

I hope you check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

-Pav, who is really enjoying Cates' work...

Fri, 18 May 2018 11:01:26 GMTOne of the things that stand out about Slott's lengthy run for me isn't the sheer number of issues he wrote but the fact that he covered so many characters during it, including some pretty obscure ones. Some were covered as little more than a fleeting reference or inside joke---oftentimes not more than a few panels, but they were covered. So, with his run winding down with #800 shortly and then the coda issue #801 next month, it makes me think: were there any obscure or peripheral characters (civilian or villain) that you wished he had gotten to? How about a plot point or story (other than OMD!)? Curious to hear what you guys think......

Thu, 17 May 2018 11:19:36 GMTHere's the third entry in my Appreciation Thread Indexes - the spiders! The first two were Marvel and X-Men, links in my signature.

He was with Betty, but I don't recall them being physical. I'm also unsure how long he was with Debra Whitman. I think a lot of people assume Gwen (and maybe that USED to be true), but remember that Sins Past (still canon) makes a point of saying they were never intimate (which is dumb, because of the sliding timescale they were both in their twenties in college approximately in the year 2013. that's pretty sexually active but whatev).

Now we know some women who've been with him physically early. So our choice gets narrowed down towards Mary Jane and Felicia (obviously correct me if I'm wrong). I started reading at the Stranzynski era, so my past issue knowledge can be limited with specifics. Sooo who done it?

Wed, 16 May 2018 23:17:51 GMTHello again, friends! It's a beautiful Wednesday, and we are lucky enough to read another installment of Ben Reilly's adventures in Las Vegas.

And I'll tell you what: if you're someone who hasn't been thrilled with the earlier issues (or Ben's characterization) - well, I suggest picking this one up!

But let's start at the beginning:

1) The subplot about the doctor working on a cure for the disease that plagues Abigail gets a single beat pushed forward, but then Ben gets distracted by his spider-sense.

2) Misty, Daughter of Mysterio has arrived!!! Her first trick? Make the Mercury Rising casino disappear! She appears to want some magic doohickey, but 'ole Quentin Beck just wants her to give up magic :/

3) The return of Dusk! Which requires me to stand on this nearby box of soap ---

One thing that I find interesting about PAD's portrayal of Dusk is the slight alteration in powers; that is, I don't recall the old Slingers issues ever explicitly linking her teleportation powers to shadows; in fact, I don't even recall the writer implying it! (I could be wrong, though: it's certainly been a minute since I dusted off my boxed back issues.) But it's kind of a fun addition, and who am I to be mad at the first writer who seems interested in using the character in twenty years?! I think PAD gets her voice right, and maybe the tweaks to her powers will result in a more unique and therefore popular position in the Marvel Universe. (Although I hope PAD remembers that, under the right conditions, Dusk has the power to level an entire army!) Regardless, I like the banter between Ben and Cassie, and I look forward to seeing them work together as the arc continues!

4) Speaking of banter, we get another excellent encounter between Ben and Kaine! Nothing crazy happens - I just got a kick out of their conversation. And honestly, it was at this point in the issue that I realized that, in this issue, for the first time this series, Ben really sounds like the Ben of old. I believe that the fans of Ben who really didn't like the Jackal-version of Ben - or the subsequent Scarlet Deadpool - will enjoy PAD's characterization of Ben in this issue. I don't know exactly why I feel that way, but I do.

5) BTW - I continue to get a kick out of Cassandra Mercury calling Ben "Peter." As I've mentioned before, I like PAD's decision to continually remind us that everything Ben does will always be measured up to what Peter would do. Also, from an out-of-story point of view, I think it's neat that a future writer of Amazing Spider-Man might potentially have the ability to bring back the obscure Cassandra Mercury to plague Peter, who would obviously be baffled. It'd be like the Raptor story, except you wouldn't have to retcon anything.

6) The cliffhanger! Ben and Cassie against the Father and Daughter Mysterio is bad enough, but Kaine might have it worse: defending the casino from Mindless Ones in a crazy alternate dimension! (As if the citizens of Las Vegas needed more interdimensional shenanigans!)

I can't wait to hear what everyone thought about the issue!

-Pav, who does miss the purple haze that used to surround Dusk...

Wed, 16 May 2018 02:33:25 GMTWhat is the general consensus for a good Spidey run? I'm really into Spectacular Spider-Man right now but I don't read any other Spider books; I just have always seen people hating on the Spidey books for the past few years. But I've seen an equal degree of love and hate for decades; what to you makes a good Spider-Man run? It seems like whenever a writer tries to completely change and add wild new dynamics the reception is always polarizing, people seem to love the more classic style stories but nonetheless crave something more

Thu, 10 May 2018 17:37:03 GMTI've recently been looking at older stories to gauge how bloodthirsty a lot of the villains can be. Spidey's rogue gallery has always been my favorite set of villains since they were always shown to be quite unique in their ways.

-Some were just criminals that only cared about power and wealth (Shocker, Mysterio, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Electro, etc)
-Some were just criminals that had no direction, but weren't really bad (Sandman)
-Some were psychotic and enjoyed killing to prove a point or for fun (Carnage, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, etc)
-Some only cared about revenge (Venom)
-Some started out seeking revenge only to take it further (Scorpion, Smythe
-Some did it for sport (Kraven)

In Marvel Knights, there was a scene where Electro was so mad about losing $20 million that he blew up all of the cars (that had people in them) that were in the area. This was surprising to me because Electro always seemed like one of those guys who'd never go that far. Well, not literally. There was a story where Electro made Spidey beg for his life or he was going to destroy the closest neighborhoods with his new powers. That seemed to be an ego thing, though.

Vulture is one of the characters that seemed to get darker as the stories continued. Toomes was always a criminal, but Spectacular #186-188 seemed to turn him into a remorseless killer. The only time where he appeared to have remorse was when Nathan died because of his antics, since it was an accident. He totally accepted his responsibility in the matter and asked for May's forgiveness, but his brutality remained. He even goes straight to the Daily Bugle and threatens to kill Jameson if he doesn't change the headline to the paper. Most of this seemed to build-up from his various defeats at the hands of Spidey over the yrs.

This page does a great job in in highlighting Vulture's cold-blooded nature and the tragic circumstances surrounding him:

You can't help but feel sorry for him when reading that. This is easily the best Vulture story imo.

Doc Ock is another one of those who've hatched countless plans to wipe out NYC to prove his superiority or just to kill Spidey. He was fine with poisoning the water supply in NYC, destroying the city with the neuron bomb during the Owl Gang War, releasing a germ to kill Spidey because he was too traumatized by him, the stuff he did with the electronics in #600, and the Ends of the Earth.

So when it comes to brutal nature of Spidey's villains, which ones stand out to you the most?

Thu, 10 May 2018 15:36:33 GMTThe cover pulled me in. I haven't read this book for some time. It was a fun read and being unfettered by the chrono-continuity logic, at this point, probably helped loads. All the 4th wall-breaking jokes were very funny. Still, the deets have to come out so at the risk of appreciating this issue less, here's some questions:

The Johnny/Peter sequence was cute.

What injury is Peter recovering from? Is it the incident that led to DP giving his blood transfusion? Who performed that procedure?

The Ben/Wade sequence was touching.

Fun transition to the future, LMD fight banter, and meeting with Future-Thing.

Great imagery of Future-Thing fighting LMDs and delivery of his catchphrase.

Is his identity as "Reed Grimm" new intro or from an old What-If character revisited? Are the rest of Future-FF new? Creepy how Val decided to go with an Uncle Doom look.

What is Leader-LMD DP connection to Present-Wade? Or Future-Wade? Intense shock how he was qualified to 'take out' Future-Spidey with a jab.

Is it true that last issue may have tied in Peter's parents to this LMD crisis?

Why would Wade think Peter could be THAT upset with learning his blood saved his life?

For some reason DP resorting to a time machine is more palatable(funny) than when Magneto does it this week in X-men Blue. Curious what Future-Val means by it not working properly/it being cursed?

Wasn't the Prologue in PRESENT DAY? When Future-DP goes back to today, how is spidey and DP in the middle of a big superbrawl? When? Are those LMDs?

Why is Wade phasing out of existence when Future-DP arrives. If THIS particular story take on time travel is like Classic Avengers #2 with Space Phantom logic that could be very neat.

Is this title doomed for cancellation given Deadpool's barftastic reset in #300 of his book?
